Memily drank Fantasy Island by DAVIDsTEA

1024 tasting notes

This love of my life is back in my life thanks to Sil! Bought 250g this time so if that doesn’t last me a year, it’s time for self flagellation. I took a Timolino full of cold brewed FI to work today and I have nothing but love. Forever fave.

I’ve ignored the timolino for a few months but that’s also because I’ve been pretty drone-y at work. I’m very excited however to announce that I’ve just gotten a new job and it’s kind of a dream job for me, front desk at a kitschy boutique hotel in the middle of town! I’m going to be SO HAPPY I can barely contain myself, only five shifts left at the call centre and then I’m SO DONE.

Life goals for 2015 include getting the timolino back out and joyfully using it while loving the crap out of my new job. And sipping down all my tea while not restocking because I’ll be poor but happy.

Maybe I’ll just do one more tea order with the call centre CHRISTMAS bonus first…

30-0 — I didn’t enjoy this tea and that makes me sad.

MY TEASTORY:

Grandad got me started young, white (a LOT of white) Irish breakfast with two.

I never strayed far from that until the world of T2 Tea came to Brisbane some years ago, and now I don’t know what I’d do without a pantry full of tea options.

These days I prefer to drink my teas straight without sweetener (though I appreciate some black variations shine better with milk and/or a dash of honey/sugar). I also love a speedy iced tea (hot brewed then poured over ice), and my latest obsession is cold brewing (which doesn’t make a lot of sense, as Australia is headed into winter and I live in the coldest corner of the country, but oh well).

I’d love to make a bunch of tea friends on here, especially those who can talk Aussie teas with me. I’ve recently come back from a jaunt to North America and it was a real hoot to hit up DAVIDsTEA after reading so many reviews! I wish I’d had the chance to get to more stores… but I’m happy with what I got back past customs. See those teas and my local jams in my reviews.

I LOVE:
+ black teas
+ white teas
+ oolongs
+ flavoured versions of all three of the above
+ herbal infusions and fruit tisanes

NOT A FAN:
+ most green teas
+ LICORICE ROOT (my sworn enemy) and aniseed flavours
